It’s better than couch-fu, but I gotta agree with Jobob on this one. 🤷‍♂️

Oh lord…🤦‍♂️

Cole “Wavy” Johnson, a 24-year-old fighter out of City Kickboxing in New Zealand with one amateur win, said after that fight that a trained human could take a chimp.

He later put a $500,000 price on actually doing it.

A 9/11 date and PPV page are now circulating online, and a lot of people are asking if any of this is even real or legal.

Would you watch a man vs chimp fight if it actually happened?

I took this photo a few days ago as a momento. As of the end of August 2026, I just celebrated my 50th year in martial arts.

In 1976, I walked into a dojo at Angelo State University and started my journey in Sorju-kan Karate-do, getting my first certificate in 1977.

Now, 50 years later, I’ve done so many different styles of martial arts, currently still training in freestyle karate, BJJ, and modern Arnis. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m so lucky to have trained with some very high level instructors, who quite frankly, I didn’t deserve to train with.

I made a lot of good friends, made a few enemies (ha ha!), made a modest living, and for a 65 year old man, I feel pretty good and pretty fortunate.

Nowadays, I still get to work with the best people I’ve ever known, loyal students who have been there to support me for decades. Some have brought their families in and at one point, there has been as many as three generations training with me at once.

Long story short, I can’t name them all, so I won’t bring up their names. But I can say, it’s a path I highly recommend.

For all those I didn’t name, you know who you are, and you should know how grateful I am. I learned as much from you as I ever learned from anyone. ♥️

Ok, enough nostalgia, tomorrow is chest day, and more tapi tapi. See you there…💪😎⚔️🙇‍♂️

Bless you all,
Baker

Before Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu took over the world, Chuck Norris was one of the earliest believers in the Machado brothers.
